The National School System in Ballincollig and Carrigrohane 1831 – 1921

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This doesn't appear (searching on co.uk or com) to be a notable topic, a notable period in the school history of this region or a notable anything. Without sources, or proof that sources exist, this appears to be almost wholly OR or an essay. Creator appeared to have written only on the topic of his/her town TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 20:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I wouldn't expect to see much in .co.uk about this given that Ballincollig and Carrigrohane are not in the UK (although they were at the time). Stifle (talk) 09:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Response yeah I know, I was hoping for historical info and/or books by UK publishers, which I've found to turn up more in co.uk then .com at times, especially older books. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 13:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No doubt some of this can be used, much more appropriately in National school. Most of the article, which is historical would be better there, and any Ballincollig and Carrigrohane specific information should be in a town article, so long as some sources can be found or supplied by the original editor. Can we try to get some response from them? ww2censor (talk) 01:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I notified the creator, however s/he appears inactive and it appears that this was written as a possible essay. If someone can find sources to add referenced material that isn't already covered, that would be great but a search doesn't reveal any and this is quite unlikely to be a search term TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 04:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. No references, no evidence of notability. There is no reason in principle why the history of schooling in a small area should not be notable, but notability is no established in this case of this piece of unsourced original research. I oppose merger to any other article: we should not be merging unreferenced material. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability; nothing particularly spectacular about this period w/these schools. - Philippe  01:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
